Packet rate testing : Similar to iPerf

[CRarsenxL]

Hello netduma!

 

I want to give the community some feedback on your routers without using a complicated tool like iPerf

 

I want to test packet rate. This can actually be a very useful tool since a user will be able to know when CC gets to low or high and their packet rate aka line quality will fail. It can help them fine tune results. 

Please see the screenshot below

Thanks for posting this, what's the tool called?

If some from netduma can advise parameters for us to use it would be simple. It can test the efficiency of the router

It will only measure if you have packet loss.

 

I can set all parameters to max and score 100% lol.

 

You are only using 732 kb/s at maximum settings.

 

iPerf is different in the way that it tests actual bandwidth until it finds a bottleneck, either in the connection or in the hardware.

No. Look at the time once you complete the test. This can be a useful statistic. Essentially the time it takes, can be how fast the packets are processed….. you could even run some saturation in the background and see if it affects that

 I don't see what you are seeing.

 

You select a fixed rate max 300 pps and the time is fixed to what you set it to. Good routers can proces over 1M PPS.
